If you hear chanting outside you home tonight, that's us with torches and pitchforks, wanting pics.

I'd never notice it over all the lights the city put on their front lawn that keep me awake at night.I guess I'm going with the Toyota centers...... The Pontiac ones won't fit.Sorry to continue to be a tease, but it's rainy and nasty here today, PERFECT weather for the AWD!!Getting the Nitrogen Fill

I liked the action shot when they were getting the nitrogen fill. I bet he used a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion.

Go to Ycart on Matrixowners. You can put the Toyota Caps on and get a nice vinyl Pontiac emblem decal for those caps. If your on MO send him a PM and he can get them made for you.

Nice. Looks good. I alway wondered what teh stock Celica wheel would look like on the Vibe. No I know and I like them. Hopefully you can get a pic of the whole side of the car showing both wheels.

http://www.importequipment.comI thought he wasn't doing Toyota or Pontiac stuff and that's why he had the sell-off last week.Try these instead.

Once I get the Toy caps, I'll see if Ryan at Grafx will make me a set of bubble overlays. If not, I'll just sports the yota centers, not like I slow down much for anyone to be able to read them LOL

Can you get a better pic of the entire car? There is another thread of someone selling the exact rims and I'm interested. Also, will the factory tires (steels with hubcaps) fit these rims?

One more question... How does the Tire Pressure sensors work? If I get new rims will the system still work? what needs to change?

the TPS on the Vibe works using the ABS sensor to detect a speed differential. That's one reason it takes so long (up to 50 miles) to recalibrate. There are not any special sensors, at least not up to '06.
